“…An intelligent attacker can use these gathered data to launch complex cryptanalysis attacks. Sarihi et al [67] use a similar threat model to [24]. Furthermore, they highlight the fact that header information needs to be kept in plain-text in order for a router to process the request fast without per hop costly decryption.…”

“…The proposed anonymous routing ensures anonymity with only 4% impact on performance while traditional onion routing implementation introduces 1.5X performance degradation. Sarihi et al [67] propose an anonymous routing mechanism in NoC. This routing mechanism uses encrypted destination address and prevent any malicious router in the middle collecting the packets of same flow.…”

The advancement of manufacturing technologies has enabled the integration of more intellectual property (IP) cores on the same system-on-chip (SoC). Scalable and high throughput on-chip communication architecture has become a vital component in today's SoCs. Diverse technologies such as electrical, wireless, optical, and hybrid are available for on-chip communication with different architectures supporting them. Security of the on-chip communication is crucial because exploiting any vulnerability would be a goldmine for an attacker. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of threat models, attacks and countermeasures over diverse on-chip communication technologies as well as sophisticated architectures.CCS Concepts: • Hardware → Network on chip; • Security and privacy → Hardware security implementation.

The Network-on-chip (NoC) technology emerged as an on-chip communication backbone for high-performance multi-core computing and network system architectures. This technology is becoming more widespread as several types of NoC platforms are constantly being introduced in the market. Wireless NoC technology has gained traction in recent years because of its ability to offer high bandwidth connectivity with improved energy efficiency. However, with the introduction of wireless interfaces, potential attack points on NoC have also proliferated, targeting confidentiality, integrity, and system availability. Although a number of research studies on NoC security have surfaced in the recent past, a comprehensive survey on the cause, impact, and mitigation of security attacks on wireless NoC is yet to be carried out. In this article, we conduct a detailed survey of the most recent advances and research activities in wireless NoC security by providing a comprehensive analysis, summary, and comparison of existing work in the area along with their limitations. We finally conclude this article with the future directions for further study.

“…MCSoCs are susceptible to various attacks, such as hardware Trojans (HT), side channel attacks (SCA), denial of service (DoS), and spoofing [6]. Current security methods in MCSoCs include the implementation of firewalls [7], secure routing algorithms [8], encryption [9], authentication [10], anomaly detection [11], among others. These proposals focus on mitigating a single type of attack rather than seeking to create an integrated security framework.…”

Many-core Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC) are increasingly used in various applications domains such as high-performance computing, embedded systems, and Internet of Things devices. As MCSoCs permeate various industries and applications, the potential consequences of security issues are becoming increasingly severe. Therefore, security is a fundamental design constraint, addressing vulnerabilities and protecting valuable data from threats. This requires the development of robust security mechanisms and countermeasures against potential threats. The reviewed works on security for MCSoCs addressed frameworks and mechanisms to treat different security threats. Despite these proposals, the integration of security mechanisms still needs to be improved, enabling a security manager to make decisions using monitoring data for mitigating threats more effectively. This integration is the primary goal of our work, aiming to create a comprehensive framework for security management. The framework adopts a Monitoring-Detection-Countermeasure loop. A distributed monitoring infrastructure detects suspicious behaviors, generating warnings to different system actors. These actors decide the warning severity, firing security countermeasures. Countermeasures may be local (e.g., discarding a packet) or taken at the system level (e.g., aborting a malicious application). The results use an MCSoC modeled at the RTL level, providing accuracy at the clock cycle (cc) level. Five different attack scenarios are evaluated, showing that the gap between attack detection and countermeasure takes less than one millisecond (15,000 cc at 100 MHz). The area overhead in the communication infrastructure corresponds to 48.8%. These results show that the framework can effectively manage the system's security while maintaining the performance of the applications.INDEX TERMS Countermeasures, Monitoring, NoC-based Many-cores, Security Framework.
